Slash — formerly of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver — let slip on a Philadelphia radio program that he might be touring later this year or early next with one of metal’s biggest names. Slash was chatting with Preston and Steve from WMMR and said that he’d be playing the City of Brotherly Love Read More
I don’t know. Just seems like this kid only does projects these days associated with his dear old dad, Ozzy Osbourne. At least every time I see Jack’s name it’s usually followed or preceded by Ozzy’s. That must suck, in some way. I mean, obviously, he’s never had to lift a finger. His dad’s Ozzy. Read More
I like concept records generally-speaking and I love — to a certain degree — history, so I should be psyched for Dutch death metal act God Dethroned’s ninth LP, but I’m only luke warm about it. I can’t explain why. Maybe because I read the concept and I almost fell asleep halfway through. The album Read More
And wouldn’t you know it — the song sounds like a Rob Zombie track. He screams “Yeah” a bunch. The song stops on a dime at points, so we only hear Rob’s scratchy vocals. The bass sounds like it was lifted from “More Human Than Human.” It’s Zombie. You know. Yes, it is true that Read More
My friend Alex Smith is going to be fucking psyched. Bad-ass English post-punk pimps Killing Joke — one of hard rock’s most iconic and influential outfits — will be back on November 16 with Absolute Dissent. But that’s not all. Not only are they back, but they’re back with their original lineup: frontman Jaz Coleman, Read More
As far as extreme metal’s concerned, Germany’s Neaera may be one of the genre’s most innovative forces. I happen to think last year’s Omnicide — Creation Unleashed was one psychopathic record with blazing guitars and schizoid vocals. Now, Neaera are returning with a new one. The band’s forthcoming LP, Forging the Eclipse (which would be Read More
Mutiny Within has pulled out of Nevermore’s tour…like the fathers of the Insane Clown Posse should have. Thrashers Warbringer are also on the bill, and the tour will seemingly continue despite Mutiny Within’s tourus interruptus. “We’re sorry to say that despite our best efforts, our plans to hit the road with Nevermore this month have Read More
Bible-thumpers Underoath have a new album coming out, so you know what that means: Touring, touring, and more touring. Because that’s how you sell records, morons. Not with viral video campaigns or music videos. You get your scrawny ass out there and you fucking tear that shit up on the road. With Ø (Disambiguation) due Read More
They’re back together, and they’re heading out this fall on a five-city, multi-night tour. We don’t know yet if A Perfect Circle will record after these shows, but the band is back and they’re fucking skipping New York. In fact, all of the shows are going down on the West Coast. Rad. What’s the matter, Read More
A 52-year-old man has disappeared after an Aerosmith concert in Vancouver, British Columbia. There’s nothing funny about that. This is just a straight-up news piece people. A sad one, because in all likelihood, he’s probably not coming back. According to reports picked up by Blabbermouth, police in Vancouver are searching for Brian Martin, who has Read More
